hey

got it from ebay right?

mine also not working

the seller will be mailing out another one to me

based on the online video reviews i seen, the tv-out should work the moment it is plugged in

but the fact that yours also dont work, makes me wonder whether the replacement set will work or not....

Ya lor.. im also waiting for the replacement.. i think we bought from the same seller. came from hongkong. but i look at some of the reviews it works.. so hopefully ours will work. but at least he is going to resend the cable. he knows how to protect his ratings. hahaha

Hi bro,

you need to google more


Plug in your usb and mount to go Mass Storage mode.

Create a new folder call “alarms”, “ringtones” or “notifications”(without the quotes) in the main directory of the SD card.

Copy all your favorite ringtones to the respective folder.

Unmount the card.

You should now see your favorite ringtone in the tone selection field.


No recycle bin..

I tried creating a folder in the main memory. Didnt work. Must you use a external SD card ?

Saw your posts in XDA about phone issues, etc.

Are you still on "Overcome"? Its at version 1.4.4 now. is it any good?

For the OC/UV controls, do I need to load separate apps to do it? or is it already in the ROM?

Appreciate your advise as I've not rooted nor flashed anything before .... and going thru' the hundred of threads which are interlinked is giving me info overload.


Of course gonna leave out the modem portion and don't wanna meddle with that since there's nothing wrong with it. But for the CSC which it comes with "XEU", we can just flash in our local CSC later right? (which maintaining whatever is in the ROM & Kernel)

Thanks

ok that's good. got new custom rom called overcome v1.0 gonna check it out.

Anybody can help me out here???

I'm rooted using the Superoneclick program. Installed Titanium Backup (free version).

Did a backup of the system data (using the "Batch" option in its menu.)

Can anyone advise me how to save my current Kernel & ROM before I start flashing anything? (Also advise how to go back to these saved Kernel & ROM)..... or have I already done so by the "system data" backup itself???

So if I flash a Kernel that changes the file system to EXT4, will the current apps backed up work thereafter when I restore them?

Thanks

 

[trektech]

must install first clockworkmod or amon RA to enable you to nandroid backup. checkout XDA to know how to do it... also backing up the system data is not necessary when you flash different roms...

Ok, I have no experience in hacking Tab, so this is purely my guess.

1) To backup kernel, you can try SGS Kernel flasher
https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher&feature=search_result
The author has stated it *might* work with the Tab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10690244&postcount=103
But since all it does is backup the kernel (if u don't press the wrong button), nothing bad will happen if it doesn't.

2) To backup current rom you need custom recovery. Iirc the most well known recovery for Tab is Overcome kernel (which includes CWM recovery). Install that according to the instructions in XDA, boot into recovery and then do a Nandroid backup. Titanium backup DOES NOT backup your rom.

3) Changes to filesystem won't affect your restore. Only the kernel handles the FS, the phone/apps itself doesn't care which FS you are on.

Thanks Kenny for the advise. Will investigate into the Kernel Flasher thing.

Yes, I intend to do the "Overcome" kernel at least. It is split into 2 parts, so at least I will want to do the Kernel + CWM Recovery.

If that already speeds up the system..... then I might just leave it as that and not do the Overcome ROM. Is my path forward valid? Or they MUST go hand in hand..... i.e Kernel + ROM ?

Nope, rom shouldn't be essential. But it should bring more improvements if u desire it.

I was reading the SGS Kernel flasher app.... it says :

backup kernel: creates an update.zip (for recovery) containing a backup of the current kernel with time and date in /sdcard/sgs-kernel-flasher/backup/

When using ASTRO to view the files directories, I noticed that the contents of directory /mnt/sdcard/ is the same as /sdcard/ can you help shed some light on this area? (All the while I've been meddling with folder & files in /mnt/sdcard)

So in a nutshell, correct me if I'm wrong :

- SGS Kernel Flasher to backup current kernal (rfs file system) as an update.zip file. This app can be used to flash back this update.zip backup in order to revert back to stock kernel.

- After flashing the "Overcome" Kernel + CWM, it will be possible to boot phone into Recovery mode to do a Nandroid Backup of the current ROM. With this backup, I can revert back to stock ROM using Odin??? or just do from the custom recovery?

Ahhhh... almost there.... before I start flashing tonight. If this goes through smoothly... then I'll be familiar enough to do the same for the SGS and LG 2X.

Thanks again for your advise & patience. (which seems to be quite short for some others in the forum)

Yes, for all Android phones /mnt/sdcard is the standard. For those that have internal memory accessible in mass storage mode, the internal memory is /mnt/sdcard. The external sdcard has different locations, dependent on the model. There's /mnt/sdcard/external_sd for SGS, /mnt/emmc for CM7 roms and so on. Internal is fixed at /mnt/sdcard so that apps that rely on offloading files to locations outside /data can use a fixed location. It's a bit hard to understand, but you don't have to understand it.

So in a nutshell, correct me if I'm wrong :

- SGS Kernel Flasher to backup current kernal (rfs file system) as an update.zip file. This app can be used to flash back this update.zip backup in order to revert back to stock kernel.

Yes, this is how it works for SGS. It *should* work for the Tab as well, given they share the same flashing methods, but I have not done it before.

- After flashing the "Overcome" Kernel + CWM, it will be possible to boot phone into Recovery mode to do a Nandroid Backup of the current ROM. With this backup, I can revert back to stock ROM using Odin??? or just do from the custom recovery?

With the backup, you can revert back to stock rom via the custom recovery. Kernel and recovery remains of the custom type, which u *should* be able to revert back to stock with the abovementioned update.zip done by SGS Kernel flasher in CWM recovery.

Ahhhh... almost there.... before I start flashing tonight. If this goes through smoothly... then I'll be familiar enough to do the same for the SGS and LG 2X.

Good luck. I don't usually provide such help. But I can see you took effort to read up instead of the numerous others who just like to be spoonfeed. I just hope I'm not giving the wrong advice, please the other Tab owners correct me if wrong.

I also just received a LG 2X review unit, gonna read up more on hacking it...

Got it. Thank you....

 

[PCdumb]

Thanks kenny for your assistance. I've managed to do the flashinh without any adverse effects....yet.

Now restoring all the apps & data.

Say, i need some advise on the supposedly Voodoo Sound V7 (lagfix I saw when using the CWM recovery menu). How do I activate this or change any settings? or are users able to access the settings at all?

Thanks

Install the free Voodoo app on the market, it's by supercurio.

 

[PCdumb]

Oh... ok. Thanks.

It was mentioned that this was put into the Overcome Kernel.... didn't know that a separate app is still required for controlling it.

Off hand, with the Overcome 2.1.3 Kernel + 1.4.4 ROM, there is an improvement in lag performance...... but its not blazingly fast like the reports from some. Perhaps I need to do overclock? (which is another app?)

There's under volage app recommended too..... loaded it, but dunno how to do the settings.

Cheers.

Any good casing similar to this?

Saw it here.
But wanna see if there is any other alternative and around how much etc.

Also, wanna check that I got the tab from Starhub, but I'm able to put in Singtel SIM card without problem right?

Thanks.

I bought something like that on deal extreme
